I have a friend selling a clean blue plate California 1982 911 SC w/ a rebuilt 915 Transmission, and had the head gone through about 20k miles ago. Fuel system also gone through recently, so no starting issues.

Asking price is around $23k. It is a beautiful off-white. Not concours, but very good paint. Interior is mocha colored. PM me if you are interested and I'll facilitate a convo between you two.

The policy I currently have for my BRZ is an agreed-value policy based on the value of my car + mods. IIRC my quote from Progressive was $1800/yr for normal insurance with the same general coverage. Insurance also seems to be expensive in California... the Progressive premium I was quoted here was $400/yr more than the premium I was paying Progressive for the same car + driver in Denver, IIRC. You'd think that between getting real weather and living in a worse neighborhood that the insurance would have cost more in CO, but you'd be wrong. Maybe it's because California is full of nicer cars to hit: particularly this town... I see more nice cars in a ten minute drive down the road here than I used to see in a month driving around Denver. In Denver it was rare to see anything worth over $100k on the roads, here there are Ferrari 250 California's at cars + coffee. The other week in Monterey I saw a 250 GTO just cruising down the highway. NBD: just taking my fifty-million-dollar car down to the shops. California is unreal.
